This $60 Coffee Maker Brews Hot *And* Iced Coffee
When it's too hot to drink that regular pot of morning brew (like, say, right now), consider having your wake-up call over ice instead. We found a reasonably-priced pod coffee maker at Amazon that many are saying 'works better than a Keurig,' and, more importantly, brews delicious coffee over ice without melting it away. It's got buttons for hot and cold coffee, one for a bolder roast, an auto-clean function and a huge water tank. And cooly, it also offers something most pod machines don't: a reusable pod filter ready for regular coffee beans. So many users have ditched their Keurig in favor of this space-saving hot and iced pod coffee machine. According to one reviewer, 'it has saved me a ton of money since I stopped taking daily trips to the local coffee shop!' Sleek, super fast, awesome — these are all words reviewers are using to describe this Keurig coffee machine alternative. Similar to those ultra-convenient K-Cup machines, this one brews 6-, 8-, 10-, 12-, and 14-ounce coffees. But unlike the name brand version, this also offer something most pod coffee machines do not: reusable filter cups. That means you brew Keurig-branded cups or tuck your own ground coffee (or tea!) into one and make a custom cup of Joe to your liking, no additional plastic waste 50-ounce water tank is removable so you can fill it under a facet (or, as coffee purists will tell you, using clean water from a filter) and easily clean it as needed. It also has an auto-clean function to minimize buildup with the tap of a button. Perhaps best of all, though, is its iced coffee function. Just load the machine with coffee as you regularly would, then place a cup of ice underneath its spout and tap the 'over ice' heads up, this means that the coffee will still come out warm just as it does at a real coffee shop, but the brew and temperature are adjusted with this setting to create a cooler-than-usual cup meant to prevent your ice (sold separately, obviously) from melting away. Whether iced or hot coffee, though, the main point is that several reviewers attest to this machine's coffee tasting delicious. Check out the coffee machine folks are saying beats out the Keurig and save money by skipping those coffee shop trips. Also, read on for promising reviews from happy, highly caffeinated coffee drinkers below. Get it from Amazon for $59.99 (available in three colors).

These are biodegradable and review: "I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting HydroFlask coffee mug — I tried everything. A bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing. They look brand-new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much I used it on another HydroFlask I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING." —Amazon CustomerGet a 12-pack from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in packs of 36 and 78).
